Some poetry for your Thursday

I feel as though my blog got a little neglected the last few days. Sorry about that, there's just been nothing really exciting happening lately. Just working and going to yoga everyday. (Though I will post a yoga update soon!)

Ummm let's see....my oven has been disconnected since last Thursday because it didn't meet carbon monoxide standards or something, and it was really annoying not having an oven for a week. I couldn't cook ANYTHING. But today we got a shiny new oven so I can cook again! Yay!

I was going to post a pretty poem about nature, because it's a pretty day, but all the nature poems I like are Romantic era poetry (Coleridge, Wordsworth, Keats, Blake) and those poems are kind of dark and depressing because the nature is a metaphor for sadness, blah, blah, blah. So I decided to scratch that because I didn't want to be a downer. Instead, I will leave you with a favorite poem of mine, which as actually a children's poem, but I dare you not to smile while you read it. I dare ya.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSY-CAT
By Edward Lear, 1871

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

See, cute right?

P.S. Friends, how would you feel about me starting "what I wore" posts, (outfits posts) not just of me, but of friends as well? Thoughts?
